Calculate KUCCPS Cluster Points 2022

A Candidate can either download the KUCCPS Cluster Points for their respective KCSE year online, follow the Cluster Points calculation procedure on this guide, or use the Cluster point calculation Formula we’ll illustrate later on. Here is the simple procedure first:

Time needed: 3 minutes

How Do I Calculate My Cluster-Points?

  1. Sum of Candidate’s Cluster points (in the 4 Subjects)

    Total of the cluster-points of the 4 required subjects for the preferred course then divide it by 48 (Max Sum of requirement subjects’ points)

  2. Division of your Total points by 72

    Total all your cluster-points in the required subjects for the course then divide them by 72

  3. Square Root of √A*B (Product of A & B)

    Upon getting a result in both step 1 & 2, multiply the first answer (A) by the second one (B); then calculate the square root upon obtaining your answer from the product

  4. Answer C*48 (Multiply Answer C by 48)

    Calculate the product of your answer in step 3 by 48 to achieve your weighted Cluster Points

Weighted Cluster Points Calculation Formula

Formula: W=√(r/m*api/spi)*48

Cluster-Points Calculation Formula| Symbols & Meaning

  • W– Weighted Cluster point
  • R– Raw Cluster Performance Index per Cluster for every enrolled Subject
  • M– Maximum performance Index per Cluster for every Subject and Student
